A Journey into Ecological and Cultural Diversity
Unlike many Peru trips that travel only to the Andes, this trip traces Peru’s full cultural diversity. We will experience coastal ecosystems, where maritime economies have sustained communities for centuries, deep canyons, where Andean agriculture thrives on ancient terraces, and high-altitude plateaus, where Quechua-speaking communities practice traditional farming, weaving, and herding in a rhythm deeply tied to the seasons and cycles of nature. Our travel will immerse participants in both pre-Columbian traditions and also modern aspects of rural and urban Peru. We will reflect on how different communities navigate time, tradition, and change in a land shaped by deep histories and contemporary challenges.
Through hands-on activities, direct engagement with local communities, and focused discussions on sustainability, we will explore Peru’s ecosystems, cultural practices, and communities. We gain a deeper understanding of the complex relationships between environmental change, conservation, and cultural preservation.
